The Festival

It is been six years since the first edition of ANIMAGE in Recife, in 2009. From that moment on, the festival has only grown. The number of exhibitions, places, selected movies has tripled and the public has increased in a very extensive way.

ANIMAGE focuses on the authorial animation cinema and the movies are seen by the adults, making a different and reflexive world view possible, and also by the children, who get charmed with colors and shapes on the screen.

This year, once again with the presence of producers from many countries and a record number of entries for the competitive screening, ANIMAGE also counts on exhibitions, master-classes and workshops and it consolidates itself as the most important event of the animation cinema of Pernambuco and stands out at the national and international scene.

On the 6th edition, the audience will have the opportunity to check the exhibitions at seven places all over Recife and Olinda, at main movie theaters and cultural centers of the cities, as much as in parks and open air spaces.

From September 16th to 28th, the best opportunity to see, learn and get charmed by the animation cinema is at ANIMAGE, as completely free event that counts on the cultural incentive of Funcultura – Government of Pernambuco, sponsor of Caixa Cultural Recife and Centro Cultural Correios, production by Rec-Beat Productions.

12h - 20h (mon - fri) | 10h - 17h (sat - sun) - Caixa Cultural Recife

The year of 2014 marks the centenary of Norman McLaren, one of the most importat names of world animation. Among the diverse techniques McLaren worked with, it is worth highlighting the Pixilation and Animation Directly on the Film, when the animator draws directly on a virgin film strip (also known as cameraless animation).
His consecration came with the film Neighbours, which gave him the Golden Palm of the Cannes Festival and the Oscar of Best Short Animation, n 1952. Some of his most important films, drawings, studies, photographs and documentaries about his life will be available for the public, that can have a closer contact with his wide work through this exhibition.

Exhibitions

KALI, THE LITTLE VAMPIRE

| |

September 16th to 28th

The film by Regina Pessoa which names this exhibition was awarded at many international festivals and it is considered an International Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The renowned Portuguese filmmaker uses different techniques of drawing through the use of craft materials, going from paper to the computer, or, as she likes to say: “From stone to pixel”.
The objective of this exhibition is to make the movie leave the screens to explore other possibilities of showing it without going through the traditional exhibition room, deconstructing it so people can interact with the images”. It will be possible to notice, in a simple and almost no technological way, how an animation film is made through the handling of light and shade, creating a movement illusion.

Where does love go when lovers break apart? Or when they stay together? How do you find the spirit to fall in love again? Is it permissible-possible and is it possible-legal to love several people at the same time? This is about the laws of love, which are as simple as "one, two, three", when we are still in love, but incomprehensible and unexplainable once love retreats. About the logic of the heart, which has nothing in common with common logic, just like non-Euclidean geometry disproves and surpasses the Euclidean one..

IS THE MAN WHO IS TALL HAPPY?

Michel Gondry | France 2013 | 88'

19/09 - FRIDAY

20h30 - Cinema São Luiz

Through a series of interviews, Michel Gondry illustrates Noam Chomsky’s theories in an animated documentary, where Gondry’s creativity and imagination serve Chomsky’s intellectual rigour. Chomsky has a memory, a knowledge of siences and history, a logic that are both unrivaled and overwhelming, but that are revealed to us by the means of Gondry’s naive yet complex animation drawings. The lively, sometimes intricated, often touching and always very humane dialogue with Chomsky is depicted naturally by the stream of Gondry’s subjective animation. Using animated drawings, Michel Gondry brings to light Noam Chomsky both as an eminent professor and as a man.
